The former English soccer player Joey Barton, 42, was declared guilty and sentenced to a penalty equivalent to 12 weeks of prison for assaulting his wife at his home in London in June 2021, although he will not enter prison, British media reported.
Barton kicked his partner, Georgia Barton, which caused him a chichón and bleeding in his nose, after having been drinking alcohol with other couples while their children slept.

According to the story of the facts, Georgia, who did not support the charges, called the police after the incident in tears and saying that her husband had just hit him, although he later sent a letter to the Prosecutor’s Office in which he retracted those accusations and in which he pointed out that he was in a state of drunkenness.
Prosecutor Helena Duong, however, said before the Westminster court that the so -called “was a convincing evidence” of aggression, since this had described it “in clear terms”, and added that Georgia “was not as affected by alcohol as she and Joey had secured.”
The Manchester City player, who is delighting his followers with his ‘Gamers’ videos these days of confinement, rescued the file a ‘vintage’ play in which he faced with the always controversial Joey Barton after an English elbow to Carlos Tévez.
The former Manchester City player was arrested on the same night of the incident in a state of drunkenness and spent the night in the dungeon, where he fell asleep.
Georgia’s bloody nose was, in Duong’s opinion, “an injury that really requires an explanation” and that was, “clearly, something not caused by an accident”, while Joey recognized in the trial that there was a discussion with his partner, but denied physical contact.
Joey Barton, coach of Fleetwood Town and one of the most controversial players in the history of English football, has been recorded by the newspaper ‘The Sun’ sticking with some rugby players in a massive fight on Newquay beach (Cornwall).
Judge Paul Goldspring labeled the version of the former soccer player of “false and imprecise” and condemned him to the equivalent of 12 weeks in prison, although he will not enter the prison, since the magistrate said he does not want to interfere in the “happy relationship” he maintains with his wife and children.
On the contrary, he was sentenced to pay 2,183 pounds (2,616 euros) for compensation to the victim and processing costs.
